9 Best Waterproof Electric Razors

1. Braun Electric Razor for Men, Series 9

Editor’s Rating: 4.8/5.0

View on Amazon

Most electric razor lists would be incomplete if they didn’t mention at least one Braun shaver (unless they’re focusing on rotary razors). Braun is a trusted name for quite a few reasons. Their products are high performance, long-lasting, and consistent.

The Series 9 is Braun’s current pinnacle shaver. It’s a premium foil shaver that provides an exceptionally close shave. Since the shaver produces 10,000 micro-vibrations per stroke. That means that it captures more hair in every stroke, cuts the hair faster,

The trimmer blades are coated in Titanium. Titanium is one of the strongest metals that can be used in shaving, meaning that the foil will start sharper and more effective than most foils. Like stainless, you won’t need to worry about titanium rusting or corroding in water.

Of course, one of the most important features of this list is its water resistance. The Series 9 is waterproof up to 5 meters. That means that you could even swim with this shaver as long as you didn’t go more than 5 meters (16 ft) deep!

Shaving in the shower, or with shaving creams and lotions, is no problem.

And since shaving with warm water helps to open your pores and lift the hair away from your skin, you’ll get a better, closer, shave.

The series 9 also has an auto-sense technology, which gauges the density of your beard and adjusts cutting action to suit your individual needs.

This premium shaver is one of the best foil shavers you can get. Its main downside is that it comes with a price tag to match its quality. While the Series 9 is a fantastic foil shaver, it’s really geared toward men who don’t mind investing in the absolute best.

2. Wahl Lifeproof Lithium-Ion Foil Shaver (Best Value)

Editor’s Rating: 4.6/5.0

View on Amazon

Wahl is another long-running and well-trusted brand. They’re product range from consumer trimmers and shavers to professional gear for barbers and stylists. One thing that’s consistent across all their products, however, is a dedication to quality materials and high-performance.

We really appreciated that the Lifeproof Foil is such a solid waterproof option at a reasonable and affordable price point. Compared to shave options like cartridge razors, this electric shaver will save money over the long term. It’s a relatively conservative upfront investment, with low long-term costs.

Wahl also includes a detail trimmer in this deal, which means you have a lot more options when it comes to shaving tricky areas and detailing your look.

While the waterproofing isn’t as impressive as the Series 9, only up to 1 meter, that more than handles the pressure and water of a typical shower.

It also has a better battery life. With a full 90-minute runtime you’ll get a lot of shaving out of a single charge. Wahl also provides a 5-minute quick charge that will let you get a full shave without having to wait for a complete charge on your battery.

It also has a self-sharpening blade, which means you can go a little longer before you replace the foils.

We appreciated that this is a customizable shaver. It’s a small detail, but there are several different color choices so you can pick an option that suits your personality and bathroom décor.

3. Panasonic Body and Beard Trimmer

Editor’s Rating: 4.6/5.0

View on Amazon

While this is technically a trimmer, and not a true shaver or razor, we wanted to make sure there was at least one option on our list for men who want to keep some of their facial hair, but who also want to take advantage of the ease and comfort of trimming in the shower.

This trimmer is also a good option if you have sensitive skin and can’t truly take your facial hair all the way down to the skin. It can go as close as .5mm, which looks like a small amount of 5 o’clock shadow rather than true stubble.

The trimming guide combs are designed with facial and body hair in mind. The combination of trimming adjustment and the guide combs gives you a lot of flexibility to create a custom look. You get 39 different trimmer settings in total.

This trimmer works off battery power and corded connection. The corded connection lets you trim for longer, important if you’re also managing body hair. Cordless operation is waterproof and safe for use in the shower.

It’s easy to wash and store. The trimmer blades are sharp and highly effective. Trimming doesn’t take very long at all with this option.

4. Philips Norelco Shaver 9000 Prestige

Editor’s Rating: 4.7/5.0

View on Amazon

Another premium shaver, from trusted brand Philips Norelco, the 9000 Prestige. This is a rotary shaver. Like the Series 9, this shaver offers premium quality and performance but has a matching price.

The Beard Adapt Sensor, one of the 9000’s major advantages, auto-checks hair density every 15 seconds. It then auto-adjusts the cutting motion to make sure it’s on the most effective setting for your facial hair.

It’s also easy to use. The 9000 offers a LED screen that counts down the available shave time left in your battery.

The 8 direction flex head works well across the contours of your face. It’ll cleanly trim the difficult angles around your jaw and ear without any problem or added discomfort.

The blades as especially sharp and accurate. That’s important for getting an irritation-free shave.

It’s waterproof and easy to use in the shower.

This razor really shines in its quality of life features. It has an LED screen, high-quality blades, flexible head, and good battery life all make it a pleasure to use.

5. Braun Series 7 790cc Electric Razor for Men (Top Pick)

Editor’s Rating: 4.9/5.0

View on Amazon

The Series 7 is a small step down from the Series 9 in terms of perks and performance. But it still made our Top Pick because it’s a better balance between the price and its performance than the Series 9.

The Series 7 still has impressive waterproofing. It also has active lift technology, which helps to raise the hairs so that you can get a closer trim without irritating the skin.

Add that to the ultimate close shave of the Series 7, .05mm, and this shaver is almost as good as a safety razor. Plus, it’s gentler than most razors and shavers. If you have sensitive skin, this foil is a good option.

The Series 7 also has the same 10,000 micro-vibrations for relaxing your skin and lifting the hair. Combine that with autosensing, and it’ll detect the cutting action and style required for the best possible results with each pass.

The Series 7 also comes with the same clean and charging station as the Series 9. Plus the same 50-minute battery.

That’s a lot of the same perks and benefits for a pretty decent discount on the premium version. All that combined earned it the Top Pick slot, with room to spare.

6. Philips Norelco Shaver 6800

Editor’s Rating: 4.5/5.0

View on Amazon

Another offering from Philips Norelco, the 6800 is a slimmed-down and more affordable machine than the 9000. But that’s without sacrificing its high performance and comfort.

This shaver looks a little more like an average shaver. It’s switched from the metal casing to a plastic version. The advanced LED screen it traded out in this model for a series of indicators, but they serve the same basic purpose.

Instead of a count-down of the remaining battery power, you’ll have a 3-level indicator. It’ll still let you know when you need a charge, but with a little less precision.

The 6800 has both comfort glide and skin-protecting technologies. This is a good rotary option if you’re looking for a rotary that works well for sensitive skin.

It does have the same 8 directions of flex for the rotary head, so you can rest assured that you’ll get a comfortable and easy shave.

Full wet-dry support means you can shave in the shower and out. You’re also not limited by product; your favorite shaving cream or lotion will work just fine.

The 6800 also has one more added advantage, a built-in trimmer for added flexibility and convenience.

7. SURKER Electric Razor

Editor’s Rating: 4.3/5.0

View on Amazon

The Surker foil razor is a little slimmed down compared to most of the offerings we’ve included on this list. That’s intentional.

While this isn’t necessarily the best pick for a daily electric waterproof razor in the same way some of these others can be, it’s one of the best options if you’re looking for a highly affordable machine or need a shaver for travel.

Compact, and designed with travel in mind, Surker seems to have really keyed this product for their traveling professional market.

You get 45 minutes of shaving time out of this little shaver. That’s more than enough for most business trips or even longer vacations. It does take a little longer than average to get a full charge, however. The average charging time is 1.5 hours.

The Surker also has a travel lock for added convenience. Even if you tuck it in your carry on and the power button gets smushed, the shaver won’t turn on. That is until you turn the travel lock setting off.

This is a complete travel kit as well. The trimmer on the back makes it easy to maintain your mustache, sideburns, and other detail work.

In preparation for travel, you’ll also receive a travel bag, user manual, and cleaning brush.

Take the comfort of a waterproof shaver with you wherever you go.

8. HATTEKER Men’s Electric Shaver Razor Black 3 in 1 (Best Budget)

Editor’s Rating: 4.6/5.0

View on Amazon

This 3 in 1 looks (and feels) like a much more premium shaver than it’s low price would indicate. Complete with an LED battery display, a foil shaver, trimmer, and nose trimmer, this is one of the most complete waterproof shaving kits you will find.

And it’s certainly more affordable than most alternatives.

If you’re looking for a good close shave on a budget, this might just be the right pick for you.

This shaver kit got our best Budget rating for a couple of reasons. Mainly, it’s a very complete package for a low price. But it also out-performs similarly prices shavers, while still being one of the most affordable options we’ve seen.

This shaver is another good travel option as well. While it isn’t quite as compact as the Surker, it’s a USB charged shaver. That makes it a good choice for international travel. So long as you’re bringing a laptop with a power adaptor, you’ll have everything you need to keep your shaver charged as well!

The nose trimmer is perfect for tricky nose hairs, as well as doing detail trimming in and around your ears.

Overall this is one of the most cost-effective options we’ve found, while still looking and feeling like you’re using a premium shave set.

9. SweetLF Electric Shaver Rotary Shaver

Editor’s Rating: 4.4/5.0

View on Amazon

This is the option for men who are only looking for a simple shaver. If you need your shaver to be effective, affordable, and simple. The SweetLF doesn’t have a lot of bells and whistles, but it’ll get the job done without breaking the bank.

It offers 4 directional flex heads, a pop-up trimmer, and a USB charge system.

This is a good all-around shaver for those looking for a day to day shaver as well as a travel model. It’s also a rotary shaver, which makes it a better choice than the Surker if you aren’t a fan of foil alternatives.

Not to mention that it’s impressive 120 minutes of operational time on a single battery charge. That’s longer than any other shaver on our list, despite being an affordable choice.

It does take a full hour to get that charge, but that’s standard for all shavers.

While this isn’t the most advanced or comfortable option on our list, it features good waterproofing, and all the functionality you need in a good electric shaver. A few more features and it might have made our Best Bargain pick, but as it is, it’s still a better option for men who don’t need the extras.
